I put it all down to my marriage counseling skills.Nancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15166865250789996825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4790859132386706501.post-73891349271704245862010-06-14T18:46:52.709-04:002010-06-14T18:46:52.709-04:00Jerry--

Thanks for a comment every bit as good if not better than the post itself.Barry Knisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03191575373788669991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4790859132386706501.post-11295208880993238412010-06-12T23:41:33.489-04:002010-06-12T23:41:33.489-04:00At precisely 5:28 pm our lab will find my wife and...At precisely 5:28 pm our lab will find my wife and plant himself in front of her and stare at her squarely in the eyes. Two minutes will elapse, and at precisely 5:30 pm the dog will howl, as if howling at the moon....but with his eyes still locked on my wife. 5:30 is dinnertime and he reads clocks. There is no other explanation. Our routine can be different -- so he is not relying on us doing the same things at dinner time. He reads clocks.<br /><br />My wife obeys and fixes his dinner. We say it is because it is so remarkable that he is so precise and therefore he deserves his dinner.<br /><br />Hutch, the lab, is a controlling mate and we rush to obey.Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04278403041887060649noreply@blogger.com
